Ready for Spring
Students in Ms. Mahoney's Kindergarten class at Summit Street School have been learning all about what it takes for a plant to grow. They started vegetables and flowers right in their classroom with the help of grow lights. Every plant that they have started will go directly into their school's garden!
Celebrating the March Harvest of the Month in a new way
The Vermont Harvest of the Month in March was Maple! The students and staff in the Center for Technology, Natural Resources Program set up an amazing maple event with active games, tree tapping and of course, a taste test. Fleming and Founders students had this incredible opportunity to learn all about what it takes to get maple syrup from the tree to our tables.
Salsa at Summit
Third graders and kindergartners at Summit Street School teamed up to make a delicious salsa recipe! They also hosted a school wide taste test to try it out and it was a big success!
